I know it's a genetic thing where it "tastes like soap" and I've supposedly got it, but it more tastes... idk, floral to me? In dishes where it is present it doesn't really override the other spice.

Very glad I don't have this gene, but I do have stinky asparagus piss (which, fascinatingly, everyone does, but I learned the actual genetic quirk is whether you can smell it or not.)

The fact you're saying this indicates you don't have the gene. Trust me, you would knowThere's clearly a spectrum since some people say they taste ZERO soap, which is crazy. To me, there's no question that it tastes like soap. I also know people who gag when eating fish sauce, pickles, or broccoli, all of which I love. What's so special about cilantro that it needs a gene to explain distaste? I even have heard of people disliking mint because it tastes soapy (as in a common aroma associated with soap) --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ...

There's nothing special, there's just evidence: https://flavourjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2044-7248-1-22 There's a bunch of papers but here's one. Also: preference and detection may be driven by separate genes/gene complexes with some overlapping association. However, binding of the 'soapy' functions (a specific group of aldehydes) has been shown to be associated with a specific genetic variation in an olfactory receptor. It's a robust finding. --- I'm am hungry I want some lasaga ... Copied to Clipboard!

kevwaffles 04/02/24 12:51:00 AM #32: |
The difference is there are specific aldehyde chemicals you do or do not taste in cilantro that is also used in making soap. It's not just down to personal taste.

I know there's an actual soap gene. When the human genome is fully analyzed, they will have found thousands of genes that directly affect smell and taste of various foods. But cilantro is the only one that people defer fully to the gene.
By the way, all studies do conclude that the gene is only a small part of the overall psychology and (like with any food) repeated exposure can change your taste. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tastes like soap, hate it, but when it's cooked in and subtle it does add to flavor in a way that hopefully isn't overpowering.
Like, bite of cilantro is awful. But the little bit of cilantro that goes into Chipotle rice helps the flavor profile. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic ... Copied to Clipboard!

Cilantro tastes like soup!
Really though, I like cilantro and don't know for sure if I have the soap taste or not. It is a pretty intense flavor to me and I would describe it as tasting "clean and fresh" somehow, but not in the same way soap might taste "clean." Also (probably flat-leaf) parsley tastes very similar to me, but a little less intense and more classically vegetative than cilantro. I enjoy it too. --- Essy ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mexican being popular cuisine doesn't mean everyone likes it or eats it. There are probably people who don't like Mexican food because of the cilantro.
Like yeah, you can get used to anything if you eat it enough, but I'm probably not going to keep eating something that's not palatable to me. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!
